Gift Ajimokun is the founder of OKE Jewellery, a Culture Curator,  the Founder and Chair of a Successful Employee Network Called Colour[full], & a Community Engagement Agitator. She is challenging tradition by representing my Mother’s heritage rather than my Father’s. She is a proud Urhobo woman in the diaspora seeking connection with others near and far from my ethnic group. That is why I’m excited about OKE. I want to raise the profile of my people, create beautiful art to symbolise my journey of learning, and express the unique beauty of the Urhobo people.

OKE is a demi-fine jewellery brand aimed at increasing the visibility of the Urhobo people of Nigeria. The jewellery is sustainably and ethically made in the motherland and is inspired by Urhobo history, culture and heritage.
